Reiki Level Two

In the first level of Reiki you learned to relax and let the energy do its work. In the second level your ability to relax will deepen, but now you will also learn to bring specific intention to the healing process. You will do this primarily through three symbols, which have been used by Reiki practitioners since Mikao Usui.

The symbols were planted within you at level one; at level two you become consciously aware of their form and function. It will not take you long to memorise them: even the big one, HSZSN, will stick if you practice it often enough. Once memorised you have powerful tools that can be used at any time during a healing, or indeed at any time or place. As part of your level two training you will learn how and when to use them in your daily life.

The second level also brings with it the recognition that you may want to practice Reiki professionally and make some or all of your living by offering Reiki treatments. It therefore offers you advice on how to set yourself-up as a Reiki professional, with practical tips such as whether to buy a massage table, and how to set the right price for your treatments.

Am I ready for Reiki Two?

Once you have integrated the changes that take place at Reiki One, and have a degree of confidence and skill in using the techniques, you can consider the next step. Teachers often recommend three months as the minimum amount of time between Reiki One and Reiki Two. Balance that recommendation with other issues:

• Are you practising regular self-healings? If you are not, three months is not enough time.
• One of the most fundamental lessons to learn at the first level is to get out of the way of the healing: to put your own desires to one side, and to allow whatever happens to happen. This is an ongoing journey, but if you are looking to get more power or control over the healing process, you have not finished learning what you need to learn.
• Do you have a heart-felt desire to deepen your connection to reiki?

Ask yourself this: what are my reasons for wanting to do the next level of Reiki? As you think about that question, trust your heart to tell you whether now is the right time, or whether you will benefit more from waiting. Only you can truly say when it’s the right time for Reiki Two.
